TL;DR: DAMAC has launched DAMAC Shared Services India with a Noida GCC of 250+ staff and plans a Pune GCC by 2026 to add 100+ roles.
This expansion boosts GCC-led hiring, strengthens regional real estate demand and signals long-term investment in India’s talent hubs.
DAMAC Group has officially launched DAMAC Shared Services India (DSSI), establishing a Global Capability Center (GCC) in Noida. The new center will start operations with a team of over 250 professionals, and the company has announced plans for a second GCC in Pune by 2026 that will add more than 100 skilled roles. This expansion signals DAMAC’s commitment to building regional talent hubs that support global real estate and service operations.
What the Noida GCC means for DAMAC and India
Setting up a GCC in Noida gives DAMAC strategic access to India’s deep talent pools in technology, finance, HR and operations. The Noida center will centralize shared services — from back-office finance and payroll to digital operations and regional project support — enabling faster decision-making and cost efficiencies across DAMAC’s global portfolio.
Jobs, skills and local economic impact
With more than 250 employees at launch and plans to add another 100+ people in Pune, DAMAC’s twin GCC strategy will create hundreds of skilled jobs in two major Indian hubs. These roles are likely to span:
- Finance and accounting
- Human capital and people operations
- IT, cloud and digital platforms
- Project coordination and client services
Such centers not only boost employment but also encourage skills transfer, vendor ecosystems and supplier demand in their locales — positive signals for both Noida and Pune commercial real estate markets.
Why India? Why Noida and Pune?
India remains an attractive location for GCCs due to competitive talent availability, established tech clusters, favorable time zone overlap with Europe and the Middle East, and improving infrastructure. Noida is a preferred destination for shared services because of its proximity to Delhi’s talent market and large corporate campuses. Pune, slated for the second GCC by 2026, offers strong engineering talent and a growing business services ecosystem — an ideal complement to Noida’s strengths.
What this means for real estate and investors
Large corporate GCCs influence office demand, urban commercial growth and residential rental markets as employees relocate or commute. For investors and professionals tracking Indian real estate trends, DAMAC’s expansion underscores continued demand in top-tier office nodes and the long-term growth narrative for 2026 and beyond.

Opportunities for NRI investors and professionals
As global firms expand operations in India, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and international investors should update their due diligence checklist and investment strategies. Practical guidance can help NRIs navigate legal and transactional aspects when evaluating property exposure near major GCC hubs — see NRI property buyers in India — legal due diligence for essential steps to protect investments and reduce risks.
How shared services boost corporate agility
By centralizing capabilities in specialized GCCs, companies like DAMAC can standardize processes, accelerate digital transformation and deploy scalable talent models to support overseas operations. The DSSI move also aligns with broader trends where real estate firms build in-house centers to manage global portfolios, investor relations, compliance and technology platforms more effectively. For those exploring tailored solutions within India’s evolving realty landscape, resources like NRI Realty Edge offer contextual perspective on cross-border real estate strategies.
What to watch next
Key developments to watch in the coming months and through 2026:
- Hiring plans and role mix for both Noida and Pune centers.
- Office footprint and tenant mix in Noida and Pune commercial markets.
- Tech investments and digital services rolled out from DSSI that could influence customer experience and operations globally.
Overall, DAMAC’s decision to build two GCCs in India reinforces a larger pattern of multinational firms leveraging India for talent and service excellence. The move not only adds jobs and stimulates local markets but also strengthens India’s profile as a destination for strategic global capabilities.
